I am so surprised getting an email with a worm today, luckily I was smart enough not to open attachments from people I don't know (or from anyone for that matter).
The thing is that I don't even give that email address out to anyone but friends, it is a long name with compound words, and somehow this person got a hold of it, not nice :(
Last week a friend of mine was going to look at the file britney.jpg (when will they grow up) he clicked it, his computer started formatting the HD. He shuts down the computer, tries to restart it, after which the computer goes into an endless cycle of starting and shutting down. Somehow he formatted the HD, was able to start the computer and in a 3 min window had to get rid of the virus, which eventually he managed, but it meant a loss of 80 gigs of data (of which digital pics without backup).
Any similar stories?
